Hello, are you enjoying some sunshine where you live? We had a lovely day with our teamie Becky Hetherington and her lovely daughter Grace - a little bit of crafting, a colouring masterclass with Becky, lots of nice food and good company - who could ask for more! We're currently enjoying blue skies and lots of sunshine up here in Newcastle, it's been absolutely gorgeous. Our 'Magnolia Only' challenge is a bit different - this month we would like you to 'make a tag', of course it is our MAGNOLIA challenge so you obviously need to use a Tilda or Edwin stamp or a Doohickey die, and of course we have two fabulous prizes from our regular sponsors - a Magnolia stamp all the way from the home of Edwin and Tilda kindly donated by Magnolia of Sweden and a £10 voucher towards a spending spree at The Ribbon Girl

Our usual rules apply - make a new project please that fits the current challenge (make a tag), no backlinking to older projects, then blog about it mentioning this challenge and use the InLinkz button at the end of the post to leave your link.

Today we have a new Lovely Lili challenge where we showcase our love of Lili Of The Valley and The Ribbon Girl. The Ribbon Girls (Andrea and Mary) were lucky to be able to attend the last open day at LOTV HQ in Farsley Leeds where we met the lovely Lou Molesworth who was doing demonstrations ... so of course we asked her to be a guest for us!! She is joined by the rest of the regular Design Team in our challenge which is 'THANK YOU' and as always we are sponsored by Laila and Lisa at LOTV as well as The Ribbon Girl.
